The document discusses the Texas STaR Chart, which is a survey that schools use to summarize their use and effectiveness of technology. The STaR Chart evaluates four key areas - Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, Leadership/Administration/Instructional Support, and Infrastructure for Technology. It is important for schools to complete the STaR Chart to help plan technology improvements and communicate their technology status to administrators and the state. All teaching personnel at a school are expected to complete the survey to provide an accurate view of the school's technology.
